Callum Hudson-Odoi is working hard to improve — Jordy Morris

Deputy Chelsea manager Jordy Morris has stated that Callum Hudson-Odoi will rediscover his form soon.

Hudson-Odoi, 19, is struggling to play regularly for the Blues after starting just three Premier League matches since his return from injury in November.

The Ghanaian descent has fallen behind Christian Pulisic, Mason Mount and Willian in the pecking order for forward positions at the club.

But speaking ahead of the Sunday’s third-round FA Cup tie against Nottingham Forest, Jordy claimed that the young attacker is working his socks off to improve his performance.

Morris said: "He knows he can do better. He's been told he can do better, but at the same time, there are moments where you get things he was doing for instance in the Southampton game, he was doing some really good stuff off the ball which we've been asking from him.

"There were things that we were asking him to do that he was trying to do in the first half, which was pleasing for the manager.”

“Being away for a year, obviously a lot can happen, especially at a young age. We all saw what happened with his contract, but now that's done and dusted, it is a little bit like 'ok let's knuckle down and get down to work'.

"He wants to work hard and wants to improve, but the proof is in the pudding, and when he gets his chance he's got to be ready to take it.

"He's a confident boy. He was asking me about stuff to do with the clips that he wanted to go through a couple of days ago, so I quite like that from him. When someone's actively trying to improve, then you've got a chance."
